Acoustic Solution For Dulwich Hill Light Rail Systems

by Modular Wall Systems

Transdev
Australasia required an acoustic fence shielding pedestrian pathway users and
neighbours in Dulwich Hill, NSW from a light rail dual carriageway system. The acoustic
fencing system required mounting to an existing structure and had to be impact
resistant to withstand the rigors of day to day foot traffic. An additional requirement of the noise reduction
fence was to have negligible impact on all bordering vegetation and flora.

The
solution offered by Modular Wall Systems included a custom designed panel
fencing system measuring 2.35m – 2.4m high and 42m long, and incorporating the
AcoustiMax™ 50 panels with a proven noise reduction of 20+dB. Highly innovative
bespoke microline steel clad panels ensured the fences impact resistance. The pre-finish
panels meant the fence didn’t require painting following installation, and the pale
eculypt colour blended perfectly with fringing vegetation and flora. An
ingenious bespoke support channel was utilised so the fence was attached
directly to an existing structure that ensured the width of the pathway was not
compromised and that the surrounding environment remained intact and undamaged.
This also had the added benefit of assuring fast installation.
